Mirror Twin Brewing’s plan to move part of its operation across National Avenue got a green light from the Planning Commission on Sept. 23.
The commission also approved a set of conditions sought by the Mentelle Neighborhood Association aimed at protecting the quality of life for nearby residents.
The conditional zoning approved by the Planning Commission requires that all lighting within 40 feet of residential zoning be no more than 12 feet and directed downward. It also bans outdoor amplified speakers at 720-740 National Avenue, the area that adjoins backyards on Aurora Avenue.
Also prohibited was a long list of other uses that ordinarily would be allowed in a light-industrial zone but that would be incompatible with our neighborhood.
The conditional zoning and rezoning from Wholesale and Warehouse (B-4) to Light Industrial (I-1) applies to the current Mirror Twin complex and the adjoining parking and also to 720-740 National Avenue on the south side of National Avenue.
